Northo! Long time, no etc etc... Swept back with a winner, it would seem! Welcome back.

Northy, is it you? By 'eck as like Gladys, can we now discuss Corrie and t'whippets a' the foot of ower stairs?
Edit: I was confusing Northender with Norfolk Born, who was a great Corrie fan. <doh> Silly me

One of the nice things about German is that you can make up new compound words which look terribly authentic.
My 'K' question, which I now realize I set prematurely, also has a something Germanic about it.....

Is set of some possibly Germanic significance?

We played that game on another thread lately - can't find it now... I did rather a good one, I seem to recall

Welcome back, Norths; excellent puzzle!

Not really - just a hint that the named composers - and others - set the same 'royal' text.

Welcome back Norths - cloughie's around somewhere too but haven't seen him in here (tho' I have been away over the past two weekends)

[Northender]

Time for a clue?
Monarch who might be a very long way North......

Well done, mercs - they all set Goethe's poem. Are you going to set us an hell of an L? I believe the Romans dubbed the Northern Isles and/or Northern Scotland Ultima Thule.
